    Greg Most of us here are going through the learning phases. Don't be bashful about posting your log, as it could mean the difference between getting valuable input or not. If you don't post, no one can see what you're referring to when you ask a question.

    Thanks Jack. Obviously I'm not familiar with AL and their methods.
  3. GLakie
    They look fine Piet! And I think they'll pass "muster" with flying colors.
  4. GLakie
    Got a ring-side seat Jack. It certainly seems like a different approach by AL, with no keel for the rabbit,and mounted on the former before the bulkheads. Curious! Cheers

    They're looking good all in place John. Gonna rig her without sails?
  6. GLakie
    Nice work Bob! She's looking great.

    Wow! You sure don't waste time Ken. Looks like I'll have to pull up a barrel out here in the wings. Looking forward to this one. When you get to the bulkhead/keel assembly, double check the bulkheads for symmetry in the plans. They are a bit off on my set, but hopefully yours won't be.

    Remembering the 29 crew-members of the Edmund Fitzgerald, that lost their lives on this day 40 years ago in Lake Superior.

    Astounding precision Ed! Beautiful work!
  10. GLakie
    That made the interior look more "busy". Very nice!!
  11. GLakie
    I agree with Gary Jesse! The letters look fine and the figurehead looks better painted, rather than left natural. Cheers

    Pretty cool Matt! Just looking at the size of those cap-rails, and how they're assembled, puts the 1:76 model in perspective.

    You've got her looking her majestic self Dennis, and lighted too! Outstanding!

    The harpoons look good John. Are you planning on displaying one of the boats outside the ship with a sail up, or all stowed on board?
  15. GLakie
    Nice work fairing the hull Patrick!

    You're a lucky man John, and like Edwin said, the Big Guy was lookin out for you.

    Thanks John, but it's been something that;s been building for around 7 or 8 years now. It's not really that big a deal. I've learned how to manage it somewhat without turning myself into an alcoholic or junkie. Found out there's more truth to the adage, "old wounds" than I realized. I got a bunch, but I had a lot of fun when I was young though.

    As someone with severe osteo in both wrists and various other joints, I know exactly what you mean about "sore" from what otherwise would be a relatively simple operation. Takes me about 3 days to heal when they hurt like that.
  19. GLakie
    I think I'd use pliers for that and just live with sacrificing the end of the dowel with the "teeth-marks" in it.
  20. GLakie
    Very nice work John. Have you seen the ads for the new "Moby Dick" movie? Looks like it'll be a good one. I just hope they stay true to the historical details of the ships of that period.
  21. GLakie
    I don't think they were "completely" served, if served at all Robb. The lines that have a "mouse" on them would be at least partly served I believe. It might be worth having a look at some museum replicas if you can find them.
  22. GLakie
    Congrats Brian. Like the others have said, it's a well deserved award, as it should be after all the extra steps you've taken to produce a model of this quality.
  23. GLakie
    Wow Nenad! Those are some great looking deck-houses! Nice Job!
  24. GLakie
    You did an outstanding job on her Ken. Definitely one to be proud of, and one future Niagara builders would be wise to reference.

    What - No popcorn Piet?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
